Safety & Risk Management recommends the following PPE for handling cryogenic liquids:

  • A full face shield over safety glasses
  • Cryogenically rated, loose-fitting gloves
    • Gloves should be loose fitting so that they can be quickly removed
    • Cryogenic gloves are not rated for immersion into cryogenic liquids or for prolonged handling of cryogenically chilled materials
